This satirical cartoon depicting Charles Darwin as an ape, published in 1871, following the publication of Darwin’s “The Descent of Man,” typified reactions of those who rejected Darwin’s contention that humans and apes shared common ancestry.

Scott defends Darwinism (i.e. MACROevolution), not science. All I can say is… show us the transitional fossils that link the reptile to the Archeopteryx, or, any land animal to the whale. Without the transitional fossils, in which a few evolutionary scientists (i.e. Stephen J. Gould, Niles Eldredge, Colin Patterson, etc.) have admitted as being ABSENT from the fossil record, evolution is proved to be a farce.
